Tim Duncan might have walked away from the game of basketball and his beloved San Antonio Spurs, but the 19-year NBA veteran hasn't changed one bit since calling it quits.
Duncan's former teammate Bruce Bowen, who is in Rio for the 2016 Olympics with NBA House, told SI.com Duncan had a chance to make the trip as well. Known for his calm demeanor and general shunning of anything flashy, Duncan wasn't too keen on the idea of flying down to Brazil, not even after President Barack Obama offered a personal invitation.
Talking about how Duncan's legacy would be remembered, Bowen discussed Spurs star's unassuming lifestyle, and eventually explained how Duncan turned down the President's offer.
